What breed of duck is this?

[NajmoNests]

This is Qwade - He is now 3 months old, 6oz.

This was Qwade, 6 wks old.

His sinus infection has moved into 1 air sac and he is on liquid baytril
So... what breed is he? I was told he was a call duckling when rescue gave him to me.

Where are all the duck breeders? Nobody can identify this duckling? At this point, We are wondering if it might have been a wild duck the teens caught & submitted to rescue. Thoughts on this, please?

it kind of looks like a snowy mallard but I cant say for sure.

I would also say a snowy mallard or perhaps a appleyard.

are there 2 ducklings... they arent a pic of the same one right? I have calls... my snowy call was mostly yellow as a baby and my grey was brown as in the second pic.. u say they are 3 months , they should be feathered out 3 months..they look fuzzy still.. they do have call duck features but look like a x maybe.. Im still learning ..

my snowy call as a baby .. the one in right hand

my gray call @ 2 months old

my snowy 2 months old

From my understanding, the OP says those are the same duck at different ages.

Might be snowy or appleyard, but he/she is 3 months old now and only 6 oz - 147 gr. Not call duckling size by far. I realize he's underweight because he's got a bad cold, but... runt? Was not sure if this could have been a wild type duck. Not Mallard by any means. This lil tid bit is the size of a small grapefruit when hunched down! Both of those pic are of same duck - 3 weeks apart! This is current handful pic.

wow .. I thought I had a tiny duck.. there a couple ppl on here with tiny tiny ducks.. Micro duck and BooBoo,,, I know BooBoo is a call and I think Micro duck is too.,, He looked like grey from the second pic, but like i said,, Im not good with all that yet,, just going by what I have..
hope he gets better .. poor baby..

looks a lot like the color on my appleyard hens. if he's little, could be a mini-appleyard. or appleyard-call cross. he does look like he's got the call duck bill.
